Relate4ever Resources Disaster Relief Response

This week we’ve been busy offering support to disciples in Florida. We learn how living through the storms grows us in faith while give hope to others. Please pray for those who need relief to find Relate4ever resources or a local Church of Christ. 

Hurricanes are massive storm systems that form over ocean water and often move toward land. Hurricanes bring high winds, heavy rain, flooding and tornadoes. These storms are dangerous and can cause damage to places far inland. Prepare now so you can stay safe.
